Julia's palate reconstruction surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Julia was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in June. The surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $3,450 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Catherine Hospital since June. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Julia struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Julia won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,450 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,350 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $230 • Post-operative medication: $80 • Physiotherapy sessions: $350 • Travel and lodging for the family: $140 Every share and every dollar helps. - Zuzanna
